Raven

Oh beautiful raven
so skittish and shy,
why have you come to me?
I was only walking by.

I am perplexed,
yet at ease.
I am astonished at what I see.

It's in the way that you looked at me.
The way you came down to me.
So I saw you.
Uncertain- but sure.

Oh beautiful raven
so skittish and shy,
why have you come to me?
I was only passing by.

But your ring was ruffled.
Your hair all a mess.
Have you been fighting with someone?
Have you lost your way?

So I turned toward you,
and I gazed.
I watched you- amazed!

I cannot forget how you looked.
I cannot escape what my eyes did see.
Your glossy black hair rearranged.
Your dark colored eyes,
seemingly estranged.

Oh beautiful raven
so skittish and shy,
why did you come to me?
I was only walking by.

I saw you
and you saw me.

When our eyes met,
this word came to me:
"Today is a day unlike any other day......."
